Through the last century, historic Muslim Cities witnessed significant decay. The level of decay, while a number of those cities were inscribed in the WHL, created an international urge to intervene. With very limited exceptions, modern interventions did not create an obvious impact due to common factors: inefficient management, fragmented responsibilities on administrative levels, weak legislations, and lack of community awareness, participation, and absence of integrated mechanisms. However, those factors are mostly of operational nature. This paper sheds light on a socio-cultural aspect of deterioration through inquiring about a basic issue: “How was the historic Muslim city maintained for centuries?”The key answer refers always to “the Waqf”. Although its nature and role are quite different now, the Waqf institution was the main player in urban regeneration in Muslim cities until early 1900. How did it use to work? Within which value reference? In addition, what was the position of the local community in the process? Those are the key issues discussed in the paper arguing that reconsidering this traditional mechanism might add another layer to the understanding of the complexity of Muslim cities and accordingly, might lead to different approaches in future interventions.

Coastal abrasion is consequence from destructive waves and sea current. One of cause is human intervention. The effort to solve of abrasion is by mangrove cultivation. Mangroves are halophyte plant that can restrain the sea wave. Mangrove cultivation required participation community that give awareness the importance of mangrove in coastal sustainability. Mangroves in coastal Karangsong, Indramayu west java, in 2007 was through abrasion approximately 127.30 ha. Mangrove cultivation in Karangsong has been replanting since 1998 to 2003, but there was no maintenance and management. In 2007 until 2015 Karangsong replanting mangroves and has been succeed. Karangsong became the center of mangrove study for west java area in 2015. This achievement is result of cooperation between community, NGO, and local government. In addition, this effort made not only overcome the abrasion problem but also give community awareness about the importance of mangrove cultivation in preventing coastal abrasion throughout community development. This paper reviews abrasion in Karangsong and the impact for local community and empowerment in mangrove cultivation. To achieve the success mangrove cultivation required community development approach from planning process, planting, maintenance and management.

Abstract Mangrove forest in Kuala Selangor has seen to be depleting over the years. This study believes that domestic waste disposal is considered as one of the treats to mangrove forest. Local community must play their role in protecting the mangrove forest. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of the community on the importance of mangrove, level of awareness on the impact of domestic waste disposal to mangroves and their level of practice on proper domestic waste management. Besides, this study aims to identify the correlation between community awareness with knowledge and practice. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data and analyzed using SPSS version 26 software. The finding shows that the level of knowledge of the community on the importance of sustaining mangrove forest is high (n=256, 85.3%), the level of awareness of community on the impact of domestic waste disposal is also high (Mean=4.48), while the level of community practice on proper domestic waste management is moderate (Mean=3.9). The correlation test showed that there was a negligible correlation between knowledge and awareness of community (r=0.14, <0.05, n=300) and also weak positive correlation between awareness and practice with (r=0.33, p<0.01, n=300. The finding suggests community with great knowledge does not necessarily have great awareness as well not necessarily with great awareness, community will practice good waste management to secure mangrove forests. Thus, this study recommends strictly enforcing all parties to comply/implementing control at source method, or develop appropriate management plans to reduce domestic waste disposal at mangrove areas.

Objective: Early reperfusion of patients with STEMI, with a target door to balloon (D2B) time < 90 min, is a core measure of acute myocardial infarction treatment. “Time is muscle” and efforts are continually made to decrease the time from first medical contact to reperfusion, thereby decreasing cardiac morbidity and mortality. SBUH is a primary PCI referral center challenged by an extended hospital network and a predominately community voluntary EMS, meeting community standards. Process review identified two promising interventions to improve D2B times; increasing community and EMS awareness of the importance of an initial referral to a PCI capable center and obtaining and transmitting ECGs from the field. Procedure: Community education and incorporation of the EMS teams as stakeholders in monthly D2B performance review meetings were implemented. The effects of efforts to increase community awareness and provide directed, timely feedback to EMS on process and outcome were assessed. Results: Overall STEMI calls increased from 368 in 2011, to 453 in 2012, and 467 in 2013. The number and percentage of patients directly presenting to SBUH (a PCI capable hospital) versus a local referral center increased progressively from 142 [48.6%] in 2011, to 201 [53.0%] in 2012, and 227 [56.5%] in 2013. In contrast to initial presentation at a local community transfer hospital, direct presentation to the PCI capable hospital reduced first contact to reperfusion time by 60 minutes. EMS demonstrated a progressive increase in the number of ECG’s obtained in the field [2009-25, 2010-39, 2011-46, 2012-65, 2013-98]; 62% of STEMI’s brought in by our EMS were called in the field in 2013. First ECG in the field compared to first ECG in the ED reduced D2B time by an average of 18.7/ median of 15.0 minutes. D2B times showed a progressive improvement in median time from 57 in 2011 to 54 minutes in 2013 and in the percentage of patients receiving reperfusion within 90 minutes. Accompanying the reduction in D2B times, PCI mortality fell from a baseline of 1.9% with O/E of 1.01 in 2011 to 1.4% with O/E of 0.75 in 2013; AMI mortality fell from a high of 5.2% with an O/E of 0.99 in 2011 to 3.4% with an O/E of 0.69 in 2013 with an accompanying decrease in the median STEMI LOS from 3.1 to 2.8 days . Conclusions: Efforts to improve community awareness of the value of early presentation to a PCI capable hospital center and EMS obtaining and transmitting ECGs in the field are effective interventions to improve rapid reperfusion efforts in STEMI. Community awareness of the warning signs of a heart attack is an additional significant contributor to early effective reperfusion efforts and decreasing cardiac mortality.

AbstractThe Golden Langur Conservation Project in Assam, India, was initiated to involve local NGOs and communities in protecting the Endangered golden langur Trachypithecus geei and its habitat on a regional basis within a complex political situation. Since langurs are leaf eaters they are dependent on forests. The Project area, once dominated by militant action and ethnic violence, is in a densely populated area and formerly suffered much illegal deforestation and accompanying reduction in the golden langur population. The Project began with two NGOs and evolved into the formation of a forum of five NGOs focusing on a large proportion of the golden langur range in Assam, and eventually included > 11 newly formed community-based organizations. Each NGO focused on nearby Reserve Forests and their resident langur populations and adjacent human communities. The community-conservation tools used included (1) initial local community awareness campaigns, (2) formation of local Forest Committees and Self Help Groups, (3) a major regional awareness campaign about the golden langur and its forested habitat in the Manas Biosphere Reserve, and (4) creation of a number of village-based Forest Protection Forces. The Golden Langur Conservation Project has resulted in an increase in the total Indian population of golden langurs, control of illegal logging and poaching in two isolated Reserve Forests by formation of a protection force of surrounding village groups, and curtailing illegal logging and increasing forest protection in the Reserve Forests of the Manas Biosphere Reserve by the formation of 10 tribal, government-sanctioned volunteer Forest Protection Forces. The Project created an atmosphere of community awareness of the golden langur and its forests and community interest within the region, with communities taking responsibility for protection of regional forests.

Having been gazetted as a World Heritage Site, George Town is known to have many heritage buildings that are more than a hundred years old. However, not all heritage buildings in George Town have appropriately been conserved by the local community, especially the owner and the tenant. This ignorance has caused severe issues of heritage buildings being neglected by the owner and the public. A stud has been carried out on the awareness of the local community in preserving historical buildings within George Town to gain insights into this issue. A quantitative method is used by distributing questionnaires to 387 respondents, which consists of the local community residing in George Town. The level of community awareness is measured to examine the extent of the local community being aware of the heritage buildings around them. Finding reveals that the community level of awareness to be moderate (mean=3.98), which reflects the ignorance of the local community in George Town towards preserving heritage buildings. Thus, the community in George Town is encouraged to be more vigilant in protecting the heritage buildings by joining activities related to heritage conservation held by the local authorities, NGOs, or even the local community. This activeness could ensure all the heritage buildings are protected from the effects of modernisation and be well-maintained for future use.
